By The Time That I Awoke Lyrics - Perils From The Sea - Mark Kozelek

I like the powder blue dresses 

stewardesses wear on Korean Air 

the skins too wine, and the body so fine. 

All the same height, and they have the same waist line 

But there is one who stood upon 

an emtag* way, changed par... 

she had a white watch and muted spot* 

I thought about her when the night grew dark. 

In my hotel room in Tokyo 

and by the time that I awoke 

my guitar was broken and in need of repair 

thanks through the hassles, Korean Air 

but i roomed* myself a one last show 

and i made a few friends, Choco and Coco 

walking down near the train station below 

hugged them good-bye as I walked back eye* 

Remember the girl who i had la... ched* 

grew up in a cardboard box 

and the town calmed dormin / down in. 

she shooked* my spirit, and she read on my thoughts 

but I had some lump* back home 

so I never pursuit her and recorded telephone 

I wondered if she knew if I ... 

I wondered if she thought that I had used her 

and by the time that I awoke 

around my neck the fellow finger's stroke 

I felt a j... off and an electrical sting, 

I felt the pull-off, an invisible string. 

Is it my future falling? 

Or is it the past to call in? 

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember. 

Anything that hurts makes me shiver. 

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember. 

My dirty reflection shimmered in the rain. 

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember. 

All forgotten blues be open my heart. 

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember. 

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember.

I was five years old the last time I slept, 

a quiet night before the loudness quit* 

I wrote poetry throughout my teens 

and I forsee* that my childhood dreams. 

Teachers told me I couldn't write 

they* are never make a living when I touch anyones right. 

People told me I couldn't sing 

that I wouldn't mount* much of anything 

And by the time that I awoke 

I was 25 years old and crossing an ocean 

working hard to develop my sound 

homecity sick*, covered in ground 

And by the time that I had awoken 

I was one of a handful of the chosen* 

to take upon* just to take the arrows* 

to b... to blood us ...?

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember 

Any useful words that I had ... 

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember 

When I was alone, flocked* desperate 

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember 

when I couldn't trap womblebee* (bumblebee) 

I can't remember, and you can't make me remember 

when I am in a crowd, I am so lonely. 

I met the most beautiful lump* 

walking along San-Francisco Bay* 

She gasped* me through the pillows* 

through the long unlit hall ways* 

Below the surface beneath the distractions 

beneath my dummy* jerk reactions 

it's to her I owe everything 

it is for her that my heart sings 

and by the time that I awoke 

finger's loose and on their ...
